How-to hub
Quick answer
How-to guides are short, task-focused walkthroughs answering exactly how do I do X in IdentityIQ, connect an application, aggregate accounts, create a role, launch a certification, write a correlation rule, each as numbered steps you can follow directly.
Key takeaways
- Task-focused, step-by-step guides
- Answer specific how do I questions
- Numbered steps you can follow directly
- Cover the most-searched IdentityIQ tasks
- Link to the concept behind each task
The how-to module turns capabilities into concrete, task-focused guides, the "how do I actually do X?" questions that dominate real search traffic. Instead of explaining what a rule is, these guides show how to create, debug, deploy, test and optimise one, and the same pattern applies across every feature.
What this module covers
How-to guides are action-oriented and step-based. They assume you understand the concept (covered elsewhere) and want to accomplish a specific task, so they focus on the sequence of actions and the decisions along the way.
What you will find here
- Task-focused, step-by-step guides.
- Multiplied across features, e.g. create/debug/deploy/test/optimise rules.
- Aligned to real search intent ("how to ...").
- Cross-linked to the relevant concepts and examples.
How to use it
Find the guide for the task you are trying to complete and follow it step by step. Pair how-to guides with the concept lessons (for the why) and the examples module (for the code).
Common pitfalls
- Following steps without understanding the concept behind them.
- Skipping testing of the change you just made.
- Applying a how-to blindly to a different context.
